Finally have a Date!!!!!

I applied for the CPNE June 4th at the MPAC. They are still scheduling April and told me that it would be sometime next year before they would schedule me. Well today I transfered to the NPAC and they offered me two dates. Sept 26-28 or Dec 5-7 and I picked DEC 5-7. I went to Lynn's workshop over the weekend and she gave me a great amount of confidence and broke down the Care planning and paperwork. The skills lab was a good addition because she demonstrated a mock PCS covering several areas of care. It was a tiring but good experience!

Congrats! I about cowed out knowing you applied after I did to the MPAC, but you transferred to the much more reasonable NPAC. It must be great to know what date you are going! Good luck.

i would if i were you. i'm going to st. joe's in syracuse ny and i just booked me and my husband's airline tickets for $415 (total) for 2 round trip tickets on priceline.com. so the total will be about $700 including the hotel. there is free shuttling to the hotel and hospital so we don't have to rent a car.

I think you just call the MPAC or NPAC (don't know which one), but it will cost you $100, I believe.

Oh, I wanted to add: If you can afford to get there a day in advance it makes a lot of sense to. Syracuse gets a butt load of snow.

It doesn't cost a thing to transfer. Called MPAC this morning and asked her if I could email them and transfer to NPAC. within 5 minutes of emailing them I called back to make sure she got it and she immediately contacted the NPAC. About 2 hours later, I called the NPAC and told her my story and she offered me two dates and I picked Dec 5-7.
